egcs 1.1b make check failures under glibc 2.0.98

[Jack Howarth]

  This is most likely a bug in glibc 2.0.98 but I was wondering if
anyone outside of the linuxppc group had noticed it. We are seeing
massive failures when doing 'make check' on egcs 1.1b after building
it against glibc 2.0.98. The failures start with the hounddog test in
libio/tests. That failure can be reproduced by...

g++ hounddog.cc -O2 -o hounddog
./hounddog -b0 < hounddog.inp

...with the result of...

Code: -1 followed by 6 chars
Code: 1 followed by 3 chars
Code: 2 followed by 0 chars
Code: -1 followed by 3 chars
Code: 2 followed by 6 chars      <<<<< difference
Code: 1 followed by 0 chars
Code: -1 followed by 3 chars

...instead of the expected results...

Code: -1 followed by 6 chars
Code: 1 followed by 3 chars
Code: 2 followed by 0 chars
Code: -1 followed by 3 chars
Code: 3 followed by 4 chars
Code: 1 followed by 0 chars
Code: -1 followed by 3 chars

Is anyone else using glibc 2.0.98 seeing this?
